The strongest basket king

Chapter 21

Jim Smith's work efficiency is quite high. The Nike sneaker contract has been negotiated, and Xiang Chu only needs to find time to sign it.

Signed for four years, with an annual guarantee of 50 US dollars, and all incentives can be increased to [-] US dollars. After Jim Smith's efforts, he has a Nike shopping card of [-] US dollars per year.

There is also an important additional agreement, which states in black and white that Xiang Chu meets certain conditions, such as entering the All-Star, or reaching a certain number of social media fans, and the contract will be changed immediately.

At that time, he can get a signed sneaker contract, and the endorsement amount will increase greatly.

Xiang Chu thinks it's not bad, and maybe other brands will come to him after a while, but he thinks very clearly that Nike is the brand with the most signed players in the league, and being the first endorsement is a good start.

Besides, his strength will not soar in a short period of time, just sign a supplementary agreement to ensure that he will not be cheated.

But the $[-] shopping card is for him to exchange all his equipment for Nikes, and buy them as gifts for his family and friends.

Fortunately, this is also practical, but it feels a bit strange to stipulate that he must maintain a high profile on social media.

Xiang Chu was just a little embarrassed. Anyway, he would keep making troubles for the sake of popularity, so it wouldn't be troublesome.

He didn't put much energy into it, because the team was going to play back-to-back away games.

The opponent is the Nuggets, but everyone's home and away games have changed.

The league has two plateau home games, the Nuggets and the Jazz.

It's been a long time in the NBA this summer. After a few games, many players are a little tired.

For a rookie like Xiang Chu, there is no obvious comparison. He only knows that he is more tiring than college.

Compared with the plateau, he now feels that traveling by car is more exhausting.

The starters of both sides have not changed, and the Lakers still want to use their starting advantages to take the lead.

When the Nuggets returned to the home court, the defense was even more aggressive. Bynum, who was very good in the frontcourt, received special attention, and he didn't feel so good in this game, missing both free throws.

On the outside, Kobe's touch is still not very good, he missed consecutive shots and made mistakes.

Kobe's current age may not be just because of family troubles, he needs some time to stabilize.

The main force did not suppress the opponent, and the Lakers naturally fell behind. Fortunately, the rotation performed better this time. Both Blake and Artest were relatively stable.

The Nuggets and playing are also distributed, that is, Mozgov's playing time is greatly reduced, and the help defense is better. Chris Anderson makes up for the inside.

This is also an attempt, because Anderson is small, and it is likely that there will be problems in single defense.

But the Lakers' two interiors today are not as brave as they were at home, especially Bynum, which is also related to the opponent's shrinking defense, but the most abnormal thing is Kobe, who keeps hitting the iron under Afflalo's defense.

The performance of several main attacking points is not good, and there is no chance for Xiang Chu to miss after he comes on the field.

He scored 8 points and 12 rebounds in the last game. Originally, he had the idea of ​​hitting a double-double this time, but he didn't expect Anderson to be very difficult. He had to grab rebounds desperately.

Since he can't score points, he must win rebounds, and he can't let his magic skills be ashamed.

It's a pity that when Kobe was 10 in 1 and there were problems with free throws, the team fell behind by 10+ at halftime, and Xiang Chu only grabbed 6 rebounds, which was also very depressed.

Mike Brown didn't talk about tactics this time, and it's useless to say it at a time like this.

He encouraged the players: "I believe in you, you will definitely be able to throw the ball in."

Kobe didn't speak. He was only 4 points away from breaking through the 28000-point mark before the start, but he only scored 3 points in halftime, which is a shame for a player of his level.

But he will not be afraid to shoot, and he continued to shoot in the second half.

Bryant had toughness and a big heart, but there was no denying that sometimes he bet on the balloons.

Fortunately, the team caused Nene's fourth foul. After Nene went off the court, Bynum made a big comeback inside.

In this quarter, the Lakers Twin Towers maintained an absolute advantage, and the Lakers also caught up with the score.

After Xiang Chu played, the Lakers still maintained an advantage inside, at least in rebounds.

And it was another offensive rebound from him, which assisted Blake to hit a three-pointer to complete the overtake.

Xiang Chu made a muscle-boosting move, be fierce in rebounding, and domineering in celebration.

"Boy, don't be so arrogant." Birdman said angrily behind him.

Xiang Chu pretended to be stupid and continued to be arrogant, but he didn't expect that extreme joy turned sorrowful.

Mike Brown wanted to expand the lead in one go, and replaced Xiang Chu. He only grabbed three rebounds.

However, the situation changed suddenly after the main lineup came on the field. First, Bynum's offense was restricted by Nene who re-entered the field. Then, when Kobe hit the iron, Gallinari made consecutive hits. The Nuggets went from falling behind to leading by 8 points in just over a minute. .

At this time, time was running out, and Kobe missed consecutive shots from outside the three-point line, and the Lakers lost another game.

Xiang Chu was also helpless. The team had two star insiders, and he couldn't play at the last moment.

As soon as Kobe set a record, the Lakers lost. This has been said to be a curse, and the milestone eventually became "mileage sadness". Kobe left the arena without accepting an interview.

Mike Brown still knows the routine and takes the pot skillfully. He said to reporters: "There is no excuse, the loss is caused by me."

Gasol also defended Kobe, "Don't keep talking about magic spells. He can't blame him alone for the loss. Everyone is responsible. I believe he can get his touch back after the game. It's not a big deal."

Xiang Chu silently posted on social media, "I only grabbed 9 rebounds, which caused the team to lose."

Everyone looked at it, why did this guy feel even more uncomfortable when he was not good? The Lakers have Kobe Bryant and a star insider. What kind of onion are you? If you want to take the blame, you have to have strength.

"Didn't you claim to be the strongest insider in the class of 2011?" Someone couldn't help but sarcastically.

"So it's all my fault, maybe it's because Faried wasn't playing, I wasn't in the mood."

Seeing that Farid almost vomited blood, he was depressed because he couldn't play, why did he lie down.

"Stop playing social media, go back to Los Angeles and take you to some really fun and relax." On the bus, Artest smirked.

Bynum next to him became excited, winked and said: "Xiang, let me tell you, I know a few very good locations, and you will know what the real Los Angeles is when you get there."

Kobe glanced this way, and Bynum quickly lowered his voice, but he couldn't help but introduce the nightclub.

Kobe has no objection to going to nightclubs, he sometimes does, but isn't he in a bad mood right now.

Bynum couldn't hold back for a long time. When Artest proposed, the two hit it off.

Xiang Chu also wanted to go to the nightclub to experience it, but he didn't want to go now. It would be better to go to the carnival after having money and showing off his capital in that kind of place.
